About damn time I got my 13b-re in my FB!

Well after batteling the storage bin rust, getting a bad engine, getting a bad flywheel and about 100 other little things I finally got her in today!
I still have a loooong way to go yet till it drives but hopefully I'll be able to drive it sometime this summer/fall.

My BNR supercars stage 3 clutch and the RB 17#flywheel behind it.



Directfreak. Nope no A/C didn't come with it from the factory, if it did I may have kept it and yes I plan on running the E6K. Looks like I'm going to get one from RPM performance center unless the HITman pulls through with a cheeper price

I love how about 95% of the engine sits behind the crossmember. Also like how I'm going to be using the surpintine pullies, no V-grove for me!

No kidding! When I saw AJC's car I thought wow now thats cool, so I decided against the "normal" T2 engine and went with the cosmo. Now a four months later there are two more of us doing the same thing.

I guess if you want to be original you have to put a 10a or something in your FB.

And when every car has a 13B-RE how will your car stand out?

I want to know where all these surplus 12As are going off to

That is damn sweet. Nice to see pictures of dreams

Out of some curiousity and some ignorance, what exactly is holding the engine up in the first pic? It doesn't appear to be touching the mounts or the crossmember. Ahhh, behold the power of the cosmo...
